Yeah the Bentonite figure is based on the second link from Plantman... as its covering 180sqm... the downside is that I can get 1000kg for $180 or 360kg in 25kg…

Once done we will.. should be completed front and back soon after start of month! Assuming all goes well

BuildlingPerth posted:Fu Manchu's Guide to Soil Prep & Laying Turf
So... My figures for 180 sqm so far are
Piggypost 30sqm/bag = 6bags @ $190bag (Datso)
Zeolite 750g/sqm = 135kg @ $19.95/10kg
Bentonite (sodium) 0.5-2kg/sqm = 360kg @ $15/25kg bag (or a bulk…
BuildlingPerth posted:Fu Manchu's Guide to Soil Prep & Laying Turf
Realised getting bulk supply from Milne feeds in whelshpool will be cheaper. ESP since the application rate for bentonite is is 0.5-2kg/sqm. Aiming for the 2kg range = 240kg
Can anyone…
BuildlingPerth posted:Fu Manchu's Guide to Soil Prep & Laying Turf
Totally random question but is attapulgite clay the same as bentonite. Can get it for $11.95 for 10kg. Or is the bentonite cheaper?
BuildlingPerth posted:Summit Xanthus
Really easy. If you're interested, ill email you later. Can even do a front yard design for you if you like... I have a copy of Autocad.
BuildlingPerth posted:Fu Manchu's Guide to Soil Prep & Laying Turf
Yep Lovegroves... about 120sqm... and the rest is gonna get mulch and natives (which I'll likely get from Carramar Coastal Nursery - cheap and their plants dont die like from…
